As you probably know, I recently released a podcast titled "An Honest Review of Catholic Nonprofits and Self-Fundraising". I've invited anyone and everyone to join me on a podcast to discuss the topic further, especially in areas we disagree. Seph Schlueter was the first to take me up on it. I have great respect for Seph and love his music, so I was eager to get him on an episode. We...

Stop complaining!! Nobody wants to hear it and it's not good for your soul! But seriously, we need a reality check. We ought to be grateful for the things we GET to do, rather than constantly complaining about all the things we HAVE to do. How about that new intro music by the way?? I look forward to hearing your thoughts! To support the podcast, join our Locals community.  Also - please fill...

This episode has been long overdue! Michaela Robinson is one of my favorite people in the world! Michaela is a wife, an expecting mother, and an amazing evangelist. She has taught me many things about life and spirituality, so I'm excited to share her wisdom with you today. Back in January, Michaela said something that really struck me. She mentioned how important it is to get to know the pers...

I'm blessed to be part of an awesome men's group. Almost every Monday night, I leave my time with the boys feeling inspired and motivated to tackle the week, be a better husband, and to pursue holiness with greater zeal. This episode is a compilation of breakthrough thoughts I had from our last meeting. If you've been feeling lukewarm in your faith recently, this one's for you! To...

To support the podcast - join us on Locals Masculinity has been neutered. In an effort to escape the tyranny of toxic masculinity, we have made modern day men into cowards. Men are told to avoid danger, avoid strength, avoid boldness - to not be a hero. Men know that they have an innate, deep desire to do something great. They want to be a part of something bigger than themselves. They want to be...

If you're involved in the Catholic world, you know at least a handful of ex-missionaries. Almost all of us have contributed to the support of a missionary at one point or another. And for many of us, that experience brought along with it some, often unexpected, frustrations and concerns. Faithful Catholics are known to be kind. This means we often avoid saying things that we often think about...

This is the recording of a talk I recently gave in person at Living the Dream Brewery in Littleton, CO. The talk was for a Theology on Tap event for St. Mark's Catholic Church in Highlands Ranch, CO. I was unable to publish the Q&A portion of the talk because I wasn't able to capture the questioners' audio with any decent quality. This episode is a preamble to next Monday's epi...

In our society today, the most divisive and extreme outlets get the most clicks and views. Ridiculous opinions are the best route to popularity. This doesn't only apply to political commentators. It also applies within the Church. It always saddens me that the non-Catholic world typically encounters two extremes of Catholicism. On the one hand, you have progressive Catholics like Fr. James Mar...

John Frankman is a Catholic man who loves the United States of America. After spending several years in seminary at Mount St. Mary's University, he joined the US Army as an Infantry Officer. I first met John at the Mount. We then met up again during our Infantry training as well as during our time in Ranger School. John went on to do much cooler things than I did, eventually becoming a green b...

I was blessed to be a part of a project coming out of the Archdiocese of Baltimore titled " The Ark and Dove ". The goal of the project was to highlight the different expereinces among different black catholics and to get our insight on different aspects of life in America. I personally thought the project was well done and very interesting. I did, however, have some serious objections t...

Last weekend, I came across a short clip from Pints with Aquinas on YouTube that was titled, "Stay-at-home dads are AWESOME" But are they really? I took some of my thoughts to Instagram and quickly was met with feedback. Some people seemed to support the idea of stay at home dads while others were against it. As usual, it took me a few day to come to a conclusion on where I really stand...
